Summary
Labor dumped over four million dollars into their 2026 State Election campaign, outspending the Liberals by a slim margin — but their strategy may have missed the biggest threat: One Nation. While Labor focused heavily on flipping seats from the Liberals, experts say they ignored One Nation’s growing influence. The Liberals, meanwhile, seemed to assume business as usual — until the political landscape shifted. One Nation spent half a million, spreading funds evenly across upper house seats, while the Greens poured over a million into one key battleground. Family First and SA-Best also spent big — but came home empty-handed. These campaign finance numbers reveal more than just spending: they expose where parties saw opportunity — and where they underestimated the competition.
